Knock Knock (Caught)

Intro 
(knock… knock…)
“Who’s there?”
*( “Don’t stop…”) *

Verse 1 
Running fast, the walls close in,
Every shadow whispers where I’ve been.
Floorboards creak, the air feels thick,
Every step I take, the clock ticks quick.
I hear it behind me, a presence I can’t see,
The mask, the dark — it’s hunting me.
I try to hide, I try to scream,
But nothing here is as it seems.

Pre-Chorus 
I thought the light could keep me safe,
But darkness stretches, it knows my pace.
Every turn, every corridor,
Leads me back to what I’m running for.

Chorus / Hook 
Knock knock — who’s there? (who’s there?)
I feel you breathing, I know you’re near. (so near)
Knock knock — can’t escape (can’t escape)
You’re the fear I can’t outrun, the shape I can’t shake. (can’t shake)
Running fast, but the night won’t end,
I’m chased by shadows I can’t defend.

Verse 2 
Hiding in corners, the air turns cold,
Every heartbeat louder than the last I hold.
The mask is close, I feel it near,
A predator smiling, feeding my fear.
I dart through doors, the world spins wild,
A child of the night, but I’m still the hunted child.
Hands grasp at air, I fall and slide,
Yet I rise again — nowhere to hide.

Pre-Chorus 
The hallways twist, the darkness grins,
Every shadow knows the shape I’m in.
I hear a whisper, a laugh, a moan,
The hunt is mine alone to own.

Chorus / Hook 
Knock knock — who’s there? (who’s there?)
I feel you breathing, I know you’re near. (so near)
Knock knock — can’t escape (can’t escape)
You’re the fear I can’t outrun, the shape I can’t shake. (can’t shake)
Running fast, but the night won’t end,
I’m chased by shadows I can’t defend.

Bridge 
Falling through the black, the world dissolves,
Every scream, every step, my fear revolves.
Is it real, or just my mind at play?
I run, I hide, but I can’t get away.
(“Who’s afraid tonight…?”)

Breakdown 
(knock… knock… knock…)
“Run… run… run…”
“The night is mine…”

Final Chorus 
Knock knock — who’s there? (who’s there?)
I feel you breathing, I know you’re near. (so near)
Knock knock — can’t escape (can’t escape)
You’re the fear I can’t outrun, the shape I can’t shake. (can’t shake)
Through the dark, I kept my pace,
But now I see — I’ve lost the chase.

Outro 
(knock…)
“Got you.”
“Always.”
